Install via Devstack

If there is no preference, it is recommended to install Tacker from master branch.

Install from master

1. Download DevStack:

   $ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack
   $ cd devstack
   

2. Enable both heat and tacker devstack plugins in local.conf file:

   [[local|localrc]]
   enable_plugin heat https://git.openstack.org/openstack/heat
   enable_plugin tacker https://git.openstack.org/openstack/tacker
   

3. Run stack.sh:

   $ ./stack.sh
   

Install from stable branch

Choose the required stable branch name from the git repository and use it in place of branch-name as given below:

1. Download DevStack stable branch:

   $ git clone -b stable/<branch-name> https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack
   $ cd devstack
   

2. Add this repo as an external repository into your local.conf file:

   [[local|localrc]]
   enable_plugin tacker https://git.openstack.org/openstack/tacker stable/<branch-name>
   

3. Run stack.sh:

   $ ./stack.sh
   

Standalone mode installation

By default, the tacker devstack plugin will install the tacker and other OpenStack services together. By setting TACKER_MODE=standalone in local.conf, we will install a standalone tacker environment with some mandatory OpenStack services, such as KeyStone. After this installation, a default VIM must be registered manually.
